Turn off the AF on your lens, that's the only thing that I noticed had an effect on it. I used my Zeiss lens to test earlier and it didn't show up, then I threw on the 14L and the box, hit record and it was on the screen and wouldn't go away. Turned the AF off and it went away as soon as I hit record.

what tommylee said. go into the "shooting" area of the menu(red borders) 4th page , second thing down, AF mode. change it to the smiley face.

this must be what i activated one day while fooling around with video stuff. I swear this thing was recognizing faces and setting either exp or focus. what i don't understand is how it was doing that. i thought only the 1dx could do that stuff. i swear i wasn't imagining it.....

I dont think he's talking about face detection though, just the rectangle that you can move around to designate what portion of the screen is magnified.
